Jeonbuk and Ulsan, who failed to win the first ‘Hyundai Derby’ this season, will decide who will advance to the semifinals in the second leg of the quarterfinals held at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 12th.

In response, Ulsan used a 4-2-3-1 tactic with last season’s K-League 1 top scorer Joo Min-gyu as the lone striker and Kim Ji-hyun and Eom Won-sang on the left and right wings.

In the early stages of the game, Jeonbuk took the lead with right wing Lee Dong-jun’s fast penetration into the back space.

Jeonbuk scored a goal in the 4th minute of the first half, and the star was Song Min-gyu.

Lee Dong-jun received a pass from central midfielder Lee Soo-bin, broke through to the right side and made a strong cross, and Song Min-gyu, who quickly rushed to the front of the goal, changed the direction of the ball with his right foot and succeeded in scoring.

Jeonbuk, who harassed Ulsan’s defense with a quick counterattack, took the opportunity to score an additional goal when Lee Dong-jun induced a penalty kick in the 22nd minute of the first half.

The moment Lee Dong-Jun attempted to catch a cross from midfield on the right side of the penalty area, Ulsan midfielder Lee Myung-Jae, who was trying to stop him, hit his chest with his left foot and collapsed.

The referee immediately declared a penalty kick.

Thiago, who was recruited from Daejeon Hana Citizen and ranked second in scoring in K-League 1 last season, played as a kicker and attempted to score his first goal since his transfer, but failed to score as his right-footed shot hit the crossbar.

Ulsan, where ‘goal scorer’ Joo Min-kyu had little chance to catch the ball, was most disappointed when Eom Won-sang’s right-footed shot, which broke through to the right of the penalty area in extra time in the first half, was blocked by the goalkeeper.

As the second half began, Ulsan attempted to turn things around by substituting Ataru and Kim Min-woo, the ‘first goal scorers’ of this season’s K League 1, while Jeonbuk countered by replacing midfielder Lee Dong-jun, who helped score the first goal, with midfielder Han Kyo-won.

In the 6th minute of the second half, Ulsan lost a chance to score a decisive equalizer when central defender Hwang Seok-ho, who took part in the attack during a left corner kick situation, slightly missed Jeonbuk’s right goal post.

The 19th minute of the second half, Ulsan strengthened its front-line attack by replacing attacking midfielder Kim Min-hyuk, who suffered bleeding after being stepped on during a goal-fight, with striker Martin Adam.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Martin Adam received Ataru’s penetration pass and attempted a left-footed shot from the penalty area, aiming straight at the goalkeeper, failing to capitalize on the opportunity.

Jeonbuk, which had faltered for a while, was disappointed that in the 30th minute of the second half, Park Jin-seop’s surprise left-footed mid-range shot near the penalty arc was aimed at the left corner of Ulsan’s goal,

but was blocked by a superb save by Ulsan’s ‘Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo.

In the end, Ulsan took advantage of an invisible mistake by the Jeonbuk defense and succeeded in scoring the tying goal.

In the 32nd minute of the second half, defender Jeong Tae-wook fell and kicked the ball in front of Jeonbuk’s goal, and it landed on the toes of Ulsan’s Lee Myung-jae, who was on the left side of the penalty area.

Lee Myung-jae scored with a right-footed shot to bring the game back to square one.

Jeonbuk’s Ahn Hyun-beom’s shot missed the goal in the 40th minute of the second half, and Ulsan’s left-footed mid-range shot in the 41st minute of the second half was blocked by the goalkeeper, ultimately losing the game at 1-1.

Lotte Coach Joo Hyung-kwang, Pitching Staff is Better than in 2019

Lotte Coach Joo Hyung-kwang: “The Current Pitching Staff is Definitely Better than in 2019”

“Young pitchers who have confirmed their potential in the camp, have confirmed their ability against batters in exhibition games”

Regarding Na Kyun-an, who has been involved in a controversy over his private life, “I hope he pitches without problems.”

Pitching coach Joo Hyung-kwang (48), who held spring camp wearing the Lotte Giants uniform for the first time in five years since 2019, smiled and said, “I really enjoyed the camp.”

Coach Joo, who met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the 5th after returning from spring camp, explained the meaning of his smile with a bright expression, saying, “The current Lotte pitching staff is definitely stronger than in 2019.”

Coach Joo, who was a left-handed pitcher who will forever be remembered in Lotte club history, left the team at the end of the 2019 season and returned to Lotte after five years.

Coach Joo said, “It is definitely different from the 2019 pitching staff. 바카라사이트

All of the pitchers who participated in this spring camp have some level of skill.

In the past, when I finished spring camp, I thought, ‘It will be difficult to put this player in the first team.’

“This year, I want to bring all the pitchers who participated in spring training to the first team,” he said, explaining Lotte’s changed pitching ability.

He said, “Overall, the velocity of our pitchers has increased a lot, and their ability to use breaking balls has also improved.

The biggest achievement of this camp was confirming that there are many pitchers to use in the first team.”

He added, “Last year, Lotte had good results at the beginning of the season, but after the middle of the season, He struggled and finished the season in 7th place.

Overload of the pitching staff may have been one of the reasons, but he expected that there would not be a focus on some pitchers this year.”

The head coach would like to add all 20 pitchers who trained together at spring camp to the first team, but in reality, he has to select 7 to 8 players who were eliminated.

We are already working on finalizing the opening entries.

Lotte is expected to have its first to fourth starters with Charlie Barnes and Aaron Wilkerson, a foreign one-two punch, and Park Se-woong and Na Kyun-an.

In the competition for the 5th selection, Lee In-bok was ahead, and Han Hyun-hee and Kim Jin-wook are considered as ‘alternative selection’ candidates.

The bullpen lineup is Koo Seung-min, Choi Jun-yong, Park Jin-hyung, and Kim Sang-soo, and the closer is expected to be Kim Won-joong.

Coach Joo said, “We have decided on about 9 to 10 pitchers who will be included in the opening lineup, and Coach Kim Tae-hyung will decide on 3 to 4 pitchers through exhibition games.”

He added, “The remaining work to do is to select a bullpen pitcher who will throw long throws.”

There are some problems that the head coach cannot solve.

Na Kyun-an’s wife, A, raised the issue of ‘adultery and assault’, and Na Kyun-an denies this.

Coach Joo Hyung-kwang said, “I hope (Na Kyun-an) can pitch without any problems,” and said cautiously, “We are not preparing only 5 starting resources.

We have 2 to 3 additional resources.”

Barnes, who recently arrived in Sangdong without joining the spring camp to help her wife give birth and raise children, is also subject to inspection by the head coach.

Coach Joo said, “We created a group chat room and updated Barnes’ training situation every day.

Barnes will take the mound in the evaluation match on the 8th, and we will see and confirm in person then.”

Young pitchers will also be tested in the exhibition game that opens on the 9th.

Coach Joo said, “Park Jin, Jeon Mir, Choi Yi-jun, and Woo Kang-hoon threw powerful and fast balls in the spring camp,” and added, “We will see how the young pitchers will compete with batters in the exhibition game.”

If the exhibition game continues as planned by the Hanwha Eagles, the head coach will be able to watch Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha) pitch from the opponent’s dugout.

Ryu Hyun-jin plans to pitch in the self-evaluation game on the 7th and then make a final inspection during the exhibition game against the Daejeon KIA Tigers on the 12th and against the Busan Lotte Giants on the 17th.

Coach Joo welcomed, “Having a big pitcher like Ryu Hyun-jin return to Korea and pitch will help increase the popularity of professional baseball.

It will also be a good motivation for our pitchers,” but added, “It hasn’t been long since I returned to Lotte, so for now, I’m better than Ryu Hyun-jin.”

“We need to take a closer look at our pitchers,” he said with a laugh.

Basketball Team KCC, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong

Professional Basketball KCC, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong Injury side by Side, Bad News

Busan KCC, a professional basketball team, faced the unfortunate news of injury to its MVP duo, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong.

KCC lost 69-90 in the game against Seoul SK held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 3rd with Song Kyo-chang absent.

Song Kyo-chang could not play in the game due to toe pain.

A KCC official explained, “I am experiencing pain in my right big toe, but it currently looks like it will take more than two weeks.” 안전 슬롯사이트

Choi Jun-yong played 24 minutes and 57 seconds in the game on the 3rd, scoring 5 points and 7 rebounds, but due to an injury to his left wrist, he will not be able to play for the time being.

Choi Jun-yong is expected to be able to return to the court earlier than Song Kyo-chang, and it is likely that it will take about two weeks.

Song Kyo-chang was the regular league MVP (MVP) in the 2020-2021 season, and Choi Jun-yong was the regular league MVP in the 2021-2022 season during his SK days.

Song Kyo-chang was scheduled to join the team after completing his military service during the season and Choi Jun-yong wore the Busan KCC uniform as a free agent (FA), so KCC was called a ‘super team’ even before the opening of the 2023-2024 season.

In addition to these, the existing lineup of Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, and La Gun-ah, as well as new foreign player Alize DeShawn Johnson, formed an ultra-luxurious lineup.

However, KCC is not performing as expected, staying in 5th place with 23 wins and 20 losses.

There is a 3-game gap with 4th place SK (27 wins, 18 losses), and there is no gap with 6th place Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (24 wins, 21 losses).

Fortunately, they are ahead of 7th place Daegu Korea Gas Corporation (18 wins, 27 losses) by 6 games, so there is a high possibility that they will advance to the semifinal playoffs despite the absence of Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong.

Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong are expected to join the playoffs, which begin in early April, but it is unclear how much of their skills they will display as they have only just returned from injury.

Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang’s physical condition is expected to be a variable in whether KCC, which received a lower-than-expected score in the regular league, will be able to turn things around in the playoffs.
